minneapolis police chief, Brian O'Hara, walks a tightrope when answering Margaret Brennan's leading questions on face (the commie) nation; ice spokesman Bovino gets third-degree on cnn

GRA: Margaret Brennan actually asked a few good questions, but they were obviously aimed at discounting the dhs/ice view of the Pretti incident.

O'Hara said he had no information about the details of the shooting, because "the feds have locked it down."

Brennan asked if extra ammo was found with Pretti--and would it matter, in respect, to the legality of the shooting.

"again, we have been closed off from the investigation by the feds, but if that were true--and as long as the person didn't use the weapon or ammo for criminal purposes, that would not justify the shooting."

I've seen some reports (Breitbart) analyzing the video, where ice yells, "gun"--a shot is fired (unknown by whom) and then several more shots are heard.

That last paragraph is from Breitbart.

Basically, O'Hara asked for understanding that the police department of 600 is overwhelmed and cannot handle the situations that are developing on a daily basis--that they are on the outside, looking in--more or less.

P.S. There is video of an ice agent running from Pretti with (what's described by cbs) as Pretti's gun. Reports I've read, are that after that gun confiscation, Pretti reached, as if to pull another weapon and was shot.

On cnn, Greg Bovino was interviewed by Dana Bash and deferred on details, but the usual "Us vs. Them" attitude by Bash was prevalent.

"'we see his gun was removed by dhs and after that he was shot,' asserted Bash.

"Bovino replied, 'we do not know that. we hear 'gun, gun, gun'--which is evidence that in a riot situation..."

"'so just SEEING a gun warranted the shooting."

"'in a riot situation after he assaulted a fed officer. let's let the investigation tell us.

Bash and Bovino argued about the meaning of the word "assault"--as in "assaulting an officer."

Neither budged from his position.
